Colorado Wide Receiver Who Transferred From Vanderbilt Took Vicious Shot That Aged Like Milk

Will Sheppard transferred to Colorado as a fifth-year senior after four years at Vanderbilt. He took a vicious shot at the Commodores last weekend that aged like milk.

His comments look extremely foolish after a monumental college football upset in Nashville on Saturday.

Sheppard was a three-star prospect out of Louisiana who committed to Vandy in the recruiting Class of 2020. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound wide receiver really burst onto the scene as a sophomore left his mark on the program. His 2,067 receiving yards ranks No. 7 all-time for the Commodores. His 21 touchdowns is third best in school history.

On a singular level, Sheppard led the team with 684 yards and eight touchdowns as a senior in 2023. Vanderbilt won only two games.

After a well-decorated four-year career with a program that did not win often, Sheppard hit the transfer portal and joined Coach Prime in Boulder. He could not turn down an opportunity to catch passes from Shedeur Sanders on a Colorado team that has pretty high hopes for a decent bowl game.

And, to be fair, the Buffaloes are 4-1!

Sheppard finished with a team-high 99 yards and a touchdown on four catches in a 48-21 win over UCF last weekend. When asked about the game during his postgame press conference, he joked about the frequent losses at Vanderbilt. The entire room had a collective laugh at his former school’s expense.
